What should I do if root canal treatment doesn't seem to work for me?

Claus Denmark
I have had 7 root Canal treatments in the last 5 years, most repeated several times. 1 has now had the root cut, but all of them are still sensitive and 3 are extremely painfull! I have also had more than 10 antibiotic cures in that period. Someone has told me that a small percentage of the population do not react well to root Canal treatment - have you had that experience? I want to have the 3 painfull teeths pulled, but no dentist will do it. I should add that the nerves in my teeth are very sensitive and I have often registered caries before the dentist.
